Garden Grove is one of Orange County's biggest and most diverse cities — home to around 172,000 people, a thriving Korean Business District along Garden Grove Boulevard, and a slice of Little Saigon that spills over from neighboring Westminster. It's a city of families, students from Garden Grove High and the local schools, and longtime locals who gather each spring for the Strawberry Festival on Historic Main Street, near the 1949 Gem Theatre and the mint-green Tower on the Green clock at Village Green.
That mix of families and young, active people is exactly who tends to love no-gi. And because Fullerton sits just north of you, getting here is easy: Euclid Street runs right up from Garden Grove to our door at 601 S Euclid St, and the Garden Grove Freeway (SR-22) plus the I-5 and SR-57 give you backup routes when traffic builds. It's a quick weeknight or weekend trip, not a cross-county haul.
Your very first class is free — show up, roll, see if it's for you, zero pressure. Because we train no-gi, there's no gi to buy: shorts and a rash guard or t-shirt are all you need. And one membership covers every class on the schedule, so you're never paying extra to add the beginner class, the competition team, or a kids spot for your child.
We welcome people from all over north and central Orange County. If you're closer to one of Garden Grove's neighbors, check out our pages for Westminster to the south, Santa Ana to the east, and Stanton just to the west — all an easy hop to the same Fullerton mats.
